The trail offers great views of The Needles in the distance. Incredible photos can be taken with the canyonlands scenery reflected off the glassy surface of water in the potholes.

TrailheadThe trailhead is located along the Big Spring Overlook road in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, near the end of the road.
